Abstract
Mosquito - transmitted infections by vectors
are one of the reasons that most contribute to human mortality and morality in
tropical and subtropical areas. Vector management seems to be the most powerful
measure and, at the very least, the best way to deter infections, ensuring that
there are no vacancies for many vector-borne infections. The most synthetic
insecticides are the first line of action, because of their rapid activity, but
their continuous use has led to the creation of tolerance and lasting residual
environmental consequences which can be judicial in animals, including people. The
biologically active processes in the Mosque control programme have so far drawn
significant attention at the very latest. In the present report, the efficacy
against the larvae of A. aegypti, A. stephensi and C.
quinquefasciatus were tested for 24hrs after treatment by chloroform,
ethanol, methanol, and aqueous extracts of E. repens. The phytochemical preliminary
study showed that certain secondary metabolites are high and responsible for
mosquito larvae death. GC-GC-MS analysis of E. repens Methanol extract
repens showed various insecticidal phytocompounds.
